As if we never read about thieving Brit, Aussie, Kiwi, or German guests of the Kingdom. Edit: I excluded Yanks, because they seem to steal wooden elephants and not cash so much.

madusa Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I saw many Thais who look just like him. He has the face of Thais. They said Thais originally came from southern part of China. Thousand of years ago they were chased out of China and they moved south to a place they called "Siam". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sawadee1947 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Now I understand those "Zero Baht" journeys. Only coming with "zero" but on the way back with many Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 8 hours ago, gk10002000 said: bank books? Seems like odd things for "tourists" to have. Whose bank books? imposters making withdrawals? Making deposits into their agent's accounts as payment for what, keeping them out of jail? I didn't see anything in this news report that would indicate this guy was a tourist. It's evident he would need a local Thai bank account to deposit the baht he "fished" out of the temple donation boxes so he would have a way to transfer the money to China, right?

I really don't see what difference it make whether he stole from a temple or from some other place. The monks seem quite happy to scam people out of their money.

billmichael Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I am just superstitious enough that I would be terrified to steal anything from a temple. I would die in my dreams of being squashed by one of those big happy-faced Buddha statues. I can see its serene smile as its massive golden bulk rolls back and forth over my bloody corpse until there is nothing left of me but a greasy spot.

It is not beside the point where those funds came from. The guy is a thief, full stop and how do we know that the money is not from the donation box or stolen elsewhere? Why do people have to make excuses for the criminal and have no empathy for the victims. Are you condoning the actions of a low life thief because he may have been starving and needed some money for food? All he had to do was ask and he would have been given food by the monks. Oh, I know, he was handicapped because he could not speak Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is stealing from a temple worse than stealing from someone else....say an old lady, or a poor peasant who is hungry? This is merit money and is never accounted for in many corrupt temples. Jail for nicking a thousand quid? a bit excessive I would say. People are been killed for their mobile phones in Thailand. Stealing from a Temple is a major crime (irrelevant how much) I'm sure he will get what he deserves, he's lucky he was not beat up after they caught up with him (look at the guy who was killed in BKK when he decided to damage Eriwan Shrine, the street cleaners killed him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krataiboy Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I'd like to see some instant retribution of this kind for the Abbot of Dhammakaya and the rest of the saffron-robed crooks who use their high office to steal from millions of their gullible followers. Breaking a few legs might discourage others who bring disgrace to the Buddhist faith who are thinking of lining their pockets and doing a runner.

It is indeed besides the point as to where the 50 000 Baht came from, beside the point that I made of "IF " he didnt have any money at all, not even 10 Baht and he was starving . Where the 50 000 Baht came from is relevant in certain aspects , but its irrelevant to my point about if he was destitute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should set up a vigilante group . Anyone who does anything wrong, should be physically attacked 100 Baht theft = Broken limbs Damage a Temple = Kill them Not wearing a crash helmet = Broken nose Short changed in a shop = Burn the shop down Lets clean up this City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
